Abstract

Adolescence is a growth period marked by increased iron requirements. Iron deficiency may lead to anemia, which can affect the health and productivity of adolescent girls. Routine consumption of iron tablets is one strategy to prevent anemia, but adherence may be influenced by adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge level, attitude, and compliance with iron tablet consumption among adolescent girls in the working area of Haruai Health Center, Tabalong Regency, South Kalimantan Province. This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 25 adolescent girls who met the inclusion criteria were selected using total sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test with SPSS. The study found a significant relationship between knowledge level and compliance with iron tablet consumption (p = 0.000), as well as between attitude and compliance (p = 0.012). Adolescents with good knowledge and positive attitudes tended to be more compliant. Knowledge and attitude are significantly associated with compliance in consuming iron tablets. Strengthening health education is needed to support anemia prevention programs among adolescent
